In  1857,  the  ;StMithern  Institute  became  St.  .Maiy's  ('olle<;e, 
with  fidl  powers  to  confer  decrees  and  <;rant  diplomas. 

in  IS.VJ.  the  l^dncational  (Nunmittee  was  stricken  Irom  the

;,,relnl  management  of  the  ladies,  constitntin-  tin'  Sisterhood,  was 
found  less,  and  in  nw^st  cases,  -really  less,  than  that  <»f  any  sinnlai- 
institution  in  New  Orh'ans. 

In  1SS.\  Ihe  main  huildin-  of  the  Home  was  erected,  at  a

A  repoiter  has  described  the  Home:  Aroun<l  it  exunas  a 
lawn  ample  for  all  healthful  exercises  and  recn'at ion  :  within  its 
walls  is  an  air  of  (hunestic  comtoit  and  relineuu'ut  -school  liMuns.

a  Depnl.N  to  tlie  (l.'neral  Convention  ot  is;a  and  in  that  year. 
a  HH  nilxa-  als(>  of  the  Stamlin-'  Coinndltee. 

Oh  ihe  i:>th  SeptendM'i-.  1  S;;s,  he  was  elected  IJishop  of  Ar

lie  then  pjocceded  to  (h'claie  the  lines  npcni  which  he  shoidd 
act  as  liishop  and  in  which  In'  desired  to  tlirect  the  Diocesr. 

The  first  thought  was.  he  was  an  ollicei-  sent  to  a  work.  The 
(Muirch  had  «;iven  her  instinct  ions  in  the  Prayer  IJook.  Catechisni. 
Articles,  and  that  the  W'onI  of  ( Jo<l  must  he  interpreted,  theiefore. 
rven.  not  as  mi^ht  seem  pM»d  to  an  iinlividnal.  bnt  as  ••tln> 
Cluirch  has  received  it."  The  second  thon-ht  was.  the  Standjmls 
must  be  received  according;  to  tlnii-  i»lain  nn'aidn<i.  nnd  are  iH»t  to 
be  taken  in  an\  unnatural  sense.

The  third  thou.uht  was.  the  Standards  are  larjit'ly  the  ont- 
•rrowth  of  the  <lays  of  the  Ketbrniation.  He  was  desirous,  there- 
fiH-e.  of  kee])in^-  in  "the  old  i)aths*"  of  those  days,  but  he  was 
anxious  to  «;nard  himself  here,  and  to  carefully  asseit  that  those 
Standai'ds  themselves  w<M-e  only  laithful  ,uuides.  as  they  truly  in- 
terpreted the  jHisition  of  the  early  Church.  So  he  cann'  back  to 
n-pjrd  himself  as  under  <nders.  received  from  Apostolic  liauds, 
wiUi  a  messa-v  that  was  none  othei'  than  the  faith  once  delivered 

to  the  saints. 

IJishoj*  Polk  was  ever  nr^in^;  the  Diocese  to  incicased  mis- 
shmai-y  elh.rt.  In  bS47,  he  said  1m'  had  a-ain  in  ,  nil  all.  nt  i- .n  tu 
the  iinjMMtance  of  incr<'ased  contributions.  ••  1  u  uii.!  nrire."  he 
said.  ••  thr  duty  <>f  niakin.u'  liri>  "bjrri  ..n.-ni  i  nii  m  .t  i  Miu-.-  m  Ih.- 
.'.stimation  of  rver\  iiinnl  ht  of  !  hr  !  >incrsr."  In  ls:.o.  lir  hmLmI

work.  eviiHMn<;  "a  nna-e  enli<ihteniu!Li- anti  1  lue  apjH .  <  iii  mn  mI  >>\iv 
oblioatious."  A<iain,  he  said.  "The  cause  of  missi<ms  is  pre  < m, 
nently  the  cause  of  Oirist.  as  it  is  the  ijn])ersonat hm  of  the  v,..ik 
Hccanu'  t(.  do."  In  ls^(i.  he  nsked  for  this  woik.  still  lar-vr 
share  of  attention  than  it  had  yet  received. 

P>ishoi>  P<»lk  was  m.t  a  man  to  <hiik  (hity.  to  lay  burdens  on 
others  which  he  did  not  himself  iM-ai".  i  le  did  m^t  send  others  fo 
ivconnoitre  for  m'W  jMants  of  advantage :  wheiuwer  pract  i.  !,  In- 
obtained  such  knowled.uv  Ibi-  hinjself.  an<l  -»  we  tin<l  him  ih*  ImM 
of  theclei-oy  ,)t'  theChuirh  to  plant  her  standaid  al  Shrev<|H.i!. 
all  alon-  the  coasts  of  the  Ped  IvMver.  al  Plaqm-nuiu'S.  at  Opelou- 
sas.  alon-    the  Teche  and  the    pordoche.  at  Thibodanx.  at    Napo- 

leouville,  at  Minden. 

Of  the  imi>ortance  of  rducation.  umh'r  tlu'  care  of  the 
Church,  liishop  Polk  was  deej^ly  impressed.  Ih  looked  upon 
n.»  parish  as  fully  funnshed  that  was  without  its  schoolhouse. 
and  no  Diocese  ca|>able  of  doin-  its  woik  fidl\  that  was  un- 
ripiipped  with  itssennnaries  of  learniu-.  His  views  are  .pioted 
undei-  tin-  chapter  on  Pducational  Institutions  of  tin'  Diocese.  The 
Cinveisity  of  the  South  is  lar-ely  the  child  .»f  his  coniprehensive 
brain,  lint  primary  educati«m  enoa^vd  his  attenti<m  ecpially  with 
the  more  prolbuml  culti\ation  of  tlu'  nund.  His  aim  was  provis- 
ion foi-  the  education,  mental— because  that  involves  moral  and 
s])iritual-  (»f  every  baptized  child.  It  was  no  fault  of  his  that  so 
manv  edu<*ational  etVorts  failed.

TlHie  weretluMi  eleven  eoinmnnicants.  si  \1  \  pnpils  in  theSnnday

In  is:»(l,  the  parish  was  rep«M'ted   as  havm-   snllered    -reatl\ 

by  rrniovals.  n<»t  less  than  !went\  families  havin- been  lost  in  that 
vviv  in  two  vears.  The  i>aiish  was  too  teeble  to  sni)porl  the  rector, 
•  UHl  he  resiuned  Mav  <;,  isr.O.  In  his  letter  of  notilication  of  the 
,vsionation'oftherect(M-.  the  secretary-  Daniel  Van-hl.  mentioned 
that'bnt  sixteen  pews  of  the  thirty  were  rented,  bnt  a(hled  that

The  K'ev.  Alexander  \\  Dobb  visited  the  parish  Noxendu-r 
-S  is:.0.  and  was  invited  to  take  char-e  of  it.  After  beccmiino

ji,^,,  1,,.  accepted  the  rectorshiiKlannary  (I.  IS.M.  The  real  Ide  ot 
tin-  parish  then  beoan.  The  rector  was  won(h'rfully  ma-netic. 
Of  abonndin-  faith,  he  took  no  thon-ht  \^o^^  his  wants  were  to  Ur 
snpplicik  bnt  literallv  h>okedt(M;od  for  his  daily  bread.  More 
than  once  he  arose  in  the  mornin-  with  neither  nnmey  nor  bread 
to  snpplv  the  wants  of  his  fandly.  ( )n  one  such  turasion  a  dray 
load  t»f  provisions  arrived   at    his  -ate.  and   he  told  the  drayman 


not  to  leave  it.  at  it  certainly  was  not  his.  Tlie  di'ayman  asked 
liis  name,  and  then  remarked,  that  he  had  made  no  mistake,  and 
tliat  his  orders  were  to  leave  his  load  thei'c  and  aiiswei'  no 
<piestions. 

(Jentle  as  a  woman,  but  conra^cons  as  a  lion  ;  indomitable^  in 
eneriiv :  hi«ddv  iiifted  intellectnallv  :  an  orator  by  nature,  he 
taxed  everv  talent  to  the  uttermost  in  the  :Mastei'*s  service. 

His  labois  wer<'  soon  rewarded  with  fruit.  11  especially 
attracte(l  and  attached  men  t(>  him — men  win*  had  never  darkened

money  was  all  laised  in  tin'  i)arish,  and  chietly  by  the  peoph'  of 
the  Church.  The  Rev.  Mr.  llutcheson  lesiiiiied  in  the  S])rino- of 
bsr,s.  and  on  the  1  1th  May,  of  that  year,  was  succeeded  by  the 
Uev.  W.  K.  Douiilas. 

On  the  Kith  :May.  bsr).s.  the  chinch  was  consecrated,  and 
twelve  peisons  were  conlirmed,  '-amono- whom  were  some  oi  liie 
most  pr<nninent  ])eople  in  the  town  and  nei-hborhnod.'^  AVriting 
at  that  time,  the  incumbent  said,  "the  i)rosperity  ol  the  iKni-li

ing a  chapel  cono-ivo-atio,,  on  the  Little  Bavon  Sara.  This  he  did 
and  so  snccessfnlly  that  very  shortly  measures  were  adopted  for 
biuldmo-  a  church.  In  \sm.  the  -round  and  the  bricks  had  b(vn 
obtained,  and  a  subscription  list  of  three  thousand  <h)llars.  The 
dcsion  of  the  chajM'l  was  to  be  after  phins  of  Frank  Wills  of  New

Before  the  chuich  was  built,  the  services  were  held  in  a  house

It  stood.  In  October.  isr,().  Mr.  Dowe  resi-ned,  and  the  rector. 
Dr.  Lewis,  took  clun-v  of  the  chapel,  ;ts  well  as  the  palish  church! 
In  is:)7,  the  ehnrch  was  built.  It  was  of  brick,  and  in  the 
(Jothic  style,  with  stained  -lass  windows  and  a  ivcess  chancel

In  IS70,  the  Rev.  Richard  Johnson  became  rector.  Ife

HISTORY   OF   THE    DroCi:8E   OF   LOUISIANA.

TRINITY  CHURCH,  CHENEYVILLE. 

The  mission  at  (Cheney ville  was  an  enterprise  of  St.  James' 
Church,  Alexandria,  the  eldest  of  hei-  nujnerous  dau<^htei's.  under 
the  then  rector.  Rev.  A.  I).  Mc(\iv,  in  is:)(>.  A  loom  was  ivnted  at 
(Mieneyvilh\  and  fitted  uj)  at  a  cost  of  SL>:)t).  and  monthly  services 
inaugurated. 

In  XovendMM-,  ls:)7.  tlu'  Hev.  N.  i\  Pridham  became  the 
assistant  of  St.  James',  and  in  immcMliate  chai"«;-e  of  the  CluMievville 
mission.  The oflicial  acts,  baptisms,  etc.,  were,  ofcoui-se,  rivorded 
in  St.  James'  reiiistei-. 

Ml'.  Piidham  resioiuMl  in  1S5S.  and  it  was  then  determined  to 
make  the  mission  inde])endent. 

The  Hev.  IJ.  F.  Mower  was  placed  in  chariiv  in  lsr)S. 

On  Monday.  Apiil  L*."),  l.sr)<).  a  parish  was  or.uanized  under 
the  name  of  Tiinity  Church.  The  wardens  wei-e  Dr.  Samuel 
Slaughter  and  (ien.  Mont  ford  Wells:  the  VestrymiMi,  Dr.  W. 
Mirshall.  Thonns  Ifeliu.  \)v.  Kenneth  (Mark.  (Jen.  P.  Iveary  and 
JJranch  Tannei'. 

When  the  IJishop  made  his  visit.  AjHil  2Nth,  he  found  a  rec- 
tory undeiway.  subsiMpuMitly  linished  at  a  cost  of  s*;2,7(M).  He 
commended  them  for  the  wisdom  displayed  in  beoinninj;- their 
eonst ruction  with  the  rectory.  It  was  a  couvenienf.  comfoi'table 
and  attractive  home.  "Such  evidences  of  sympathy  and  interest, 
on  the  part  of  the  ])iM)ple,  in  them,  bind  the  cler^'T  to  a  measure 
of  assiduity  in  the  discharge  of  their  duties,  which  might  not  be 
expected  where  there  is  less  co.ncei-u  for  the  comfort  of  themselves 
and  families  manifesteil  by  those  foi' whom  th(\v  are  expecte<l  to 
live  and  labor." 

The  i-ector  had  sei'vice  for  the  servants  evi'ry  Sunchiy  alter- 
noou,  either  at  (MuMieyville.  or  at  one  of  two  plantations  in  the 
vicinity.  In  .March.  \S{>{),  the  sum  of  J^4.r)()()  wassubsciilxMl  toward 
the  building  of  a  church  adjoining  the  I'ectory  and  acioss  IJavou 
lUeuf  fi'om  the  village  from  Cheneyville. 

Tlu'  corner  stone  of  Tiinity  Church  was  laid  June  U.  ISfiO. 
by  the  i;«'v.  A.  I).  McCoy.  The  church  was  constructed  during 
the  summei'  and  fall.  It  was  completed  at  a  cost  of  over  .%,00(). 
It  is  a  substantial  biick  building.  Gothic  in  order,  with  a  well 
proiKM'tioned  towt'r,  and  its  lines  are  remarkably  attractive.     Its

to  the  paiisli  library,  '-hy  one  who  is  continuallv  uiv<'n  to  i-ix^d

On  Sunday.  7th  Apiil.  1m;1.  the  church  was  consecrated,  and 
twel\('  white  and  thirty  one  colored  pers(Mis  were  conlirined. 
''This  I'onoTeoation,"  said  the  IJishop.  "has  now  conii)leted  its 
anan.uern<'nts  for-  its  ])ernianent  foundation,  and  verv  thor(ai-hlv 
they  ha\  (*  acconij)lished  it." 

On  the  1st  Ma\.  ISfU,  the  parish  was  atlnntted  to  union  with 
tile  ( 'on\ cntion. 

The  rectory  was  huined  Au-ust  ;{(>,  1S<;1.  and  Mr.  Mower  re- 
signed not  lon^  afterwards. 

In  \Siu,  the  IJev.  Caleh  I )owe,  of  Alexandria,  ministered  to 
the  cou;4ieiLiation. 

In  l.S(iS,  a  sti'oke  of  liiihtninu  \ civ  se\(M'el\  damaired  the 
towel-  and  walls  of  the  church.  11ie  KN'v.  Otis  Ilackett  became 
rectoi-  in  |,S(;<».  Within  a  year  thechurch  was  thoi'on«4hly  repaii'ed, 
the  .urounds  I'e- fenced,  and  a  temporary  re<-t<uy  titled  up.  .Mr. 
ilackett  resigned  in  October.  1.S71.  and  was  succe(Mled  in  N(»vem-

In  IS7:{,  the  IJev.  A.  N.  0,o(hMi.  of  Alexandiia,  took  chai'iiic 
of  the  parish,  and  services  were  held  once  a  im)ntli,  until  Mav. 
lN7r),  when  he  ielin(|uished  it  to  the  \U\.  Oliver  Wilson. 

A  new  oi'iian  was  purchased  this  year  for  siMMI.  In  1S77,  the 
parish  received  a  donation  of  s421  l>.S  from  .Airs.  Constance  bleach', 
of  New  London.  Connecticut,  to  pay  tor  the  rei)airin,u-  of  the 
church  :  but  it  is  reeor(h'd,  that  it  was  not  the  only  evidence 
Trinity  Church  had  of  the  kindness  and  devoted  churchmanshij) 
(»f  Mrs.  Meade. 

In  KS79,  the  rector  repoited  that   the  Sunday  school,  with  (\

when  the  i-ector  resumed  his  woik. 

Throu-h  the  ^^iooniy  days  of  the  Civil  War,  the  services  (if 
theChui-ch  wei'e  maintained  almost  uninterruptedly,  althou.uli  the 
rector  was  absent  as  a  private  soldier  at  the  fiont.  The  country 
about  kosedale  suilered  severely,  not  only  from  the  ])assain-e  of 
hostile  detachments,  but  also  from  overtlow.  a  calamity  that  has 
l)een  of  frcijuent  occuirence  until  a  few  years  si nc<*. 

hi    l.S()7,  the  alfaiis  of  the  Church  were  very  jiiooniy— four 
years  of  overtlow  had  forced   tin'  con<,n(\iiation  into  a  stru^^^de  for 
tlie  bare  necessaries  of  lite,  and  the  i-ector  was  compelled  to  relin 
<juish  his  cui(  . 

On  the  l.'')th  Febiuaiy,  INTO,  the  IJishop  foun<l  there  "a  little 
tlock.  steadfast  in  fnth.*'  For  several  months  then  past,  the  K'ev. 
Mr.  Dillon,  of  liayou  (ionla,  had  been  visitin«i-  tluMii  on  each 
alternate- Tues(hiy.  In  that  year,  the  llvy.  K'ichaid  Johnson  took 
char-:-e  of  the  paiisli.  Services  wei-e  held  on  the  third  Sunday  (»f 
each  month.      Mr.  Johns<m  die<l  Januar\   7,   lS7l'.

communicants.  The  .<;r«'at  Hood  <»f  1SSl>  drove  many  from  their 
homes.  a!!d  in  iss:{  but  four  commuincants  remained.  In  that 
\('ar,  it  was  proj)osrd  to  consolidate  the  parish  with  that  of 
Cavalry,  Livonia,  and  to  i-euiove  tiie  Church  of  the  Nativity  ia

rx  TSr)9,  the  lector  at  Kosedale.  Kcn'.  John  J>liilson  com- 
menced monthly  services  at  Livonia.  They  were  In^ld  in  a  Metho- 
dist elui])el. 

In  1S(>0,  the  Kev.  IL^nry  T.  Lee  took  charo-e  of  the  woik  V 
parish  was  oi-anized  and  admitted  into  union  with  tlie  (\>nveii- 
tion,  May  L  IStJJ. 

Considerable  success  was  attained  in  procurino-  subscrii)tions 
tor  th(^  erection  of  a  clinrch.     There  were  eiglit  communicants. 

in  1872,  the  parish,  bein-  practically  (Extinct,  wjls  dropped 
irom  tlie  register. 

Ill  LS77,  the  Kev.  A.  (i.  Bakewell,  of  St.  Franeisville,  revived 
thi^  work,  and  on  the  2()th  February,  1878,  tliirteen  pt^rsons  were 
contirmed. 

In  1878,  Mr.  Fhilson  resumed  the  char-e  of  Livonia,  retain- 
u\<r  It  until  Fel)rnary,  1882. 

In  188;j,  it  was  proposed  to  consolidate  witli  Kosedale  b\ 
rcniovm;;  the  church  of  the  latter  parish  to  a  point  equidistant 
from  Its  site  and  Livonia.  This  project  hjis  been  under  discussion 
to  the  j>reseiit  tinu^,  and  althou-h  never  acconiplislied  so  far  as 
the  church  edifice  is  concerned,  yet  all  official  acts  of  the  cler<ry 
for  the  people  of  Livonia,  have  l)een  recorded  under  the  report 
Irom  Kosedale.
